Apex to CS2 Sensitivity
Good news if you're coming from Apex Legends — the conversion to CS2 is about as simple as it gets.
It's a 1:1 conversion
Apex Legends and Counter-Strike 2 both use the same yaw value of 0.022 — the amount your view rotates per mouse count at sensitivity 1. Because that figure is identical, your Apex sensitivity number transfers straight to CS2 unchanged, provided your mouse DPI is the same in both games.
If you run 1.5 sensitivity in Apex at 800 DPI, set CS2 to 1.5 at 800 DPI and your cm/360 — the physical distance for a full turn — will match.
What to double-check
- DPI: the 1:1 rule only holds if your mouse DPI is identical in both games. Change DPI and the feel changes.
- ADS / scoped sens: aim-down-sights multipliers differ between the games, so zoomed sensitivity won't line up automatically.
- Mouse acceleration: keep it off in both games so the conversion stays consistent across fast and slow movements.
Why the yaw match matters
When two games share a yaw value, there's no scaling factor to apply — the conversion is exact rather than an approximation. This is the cleanest possible swap, and it's why Apex players tend to settle into CS2's aim quickly. Community converters generally agree on the 1:1 figure, but if you've tweaked any advanced config values it's worth verifying your cm/360 in-game.
Confirm it in seconds
Pop your numbers into the CS2 sensitivity converter with Apex selected as the source — you'll see the same value come out and the matching cm/360. Coming from a tac-shooter instead? The Valorant to CS2 guide covers that conversion, and the sensitivity explainer breaks down the underlying maths.
